Turnips!!


Much like the cauliflower, turnips can be boiled and mashed to make a good substitute Mashed "Potato". It will have more of a "bite" to it than the cauliflower version and is a good bet when you want a spicy mashed... add black or red pepper, perhaps onion and/or garlic. Turnips make great (and again, spicy) fries. Add to stews in place of potatoes, or shred in hot buttered skillet with a bit of butter for a hashbrown 'clone'

see a picture! Turnip Fries - a Personal Favorite!! you can also use Celery Root for this, although ive never had it myself I will soon be trying it.

Scalloped Turnips (from southern living)

3 medium turnips, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons pork rind flour
1/2 cups cream
1/2 cup mayo
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese

Cook turnips uncovered in boiling salted water over for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain; transfer to a lightly greased 2-quart casserole.
Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; blend in flour, and cook 1 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in salt
and pepper.
Pour sauce over turnips; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Yield 6 servings

Jicama!!


Like potatoes, jicamas can be steamed, baked, boiled, mashed or fried. Unlike potatoes, however, they can also be eaten raw. Sliced into wide sticks, jicama makes a crunchy carrier for guacamole and highly seasoned dips.
